GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Connecting & Disconnecting to Gas Source
Regulator Safety Feature
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas
cylinder to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature
included that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak.
You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without
having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn
on the gas using the barbecue control knob before you
turn on the gas cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety
feature activates, the barbecue will operate with reduced
output as gas flow is restricted.
IMPORTANT:
• Before connecting and disconnecting barbecue
to gas source, make sure burner controls are in
‘OFF’ position.
• CAUTION: When the barbecue is not in use, the
gas must be turned off at the cylinder.
• Check that the seals between the barbecue
and the gas cylinder are in place and in good
condition before connecting the gas cylinder.
These steps should be taken first to reset the gas
regulator safety device:
• Do not use this appliance if it has damaged or
worn seals.
2. Turn gas cylinder valve off.
1. Ensure the barbecue hood is open.
3. Turn off all control knobs.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
Familiarise yourself with the general information and
safety guidelines located at the front of this manual.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
Check:
7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
6. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.
1. The cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be heard
when shaken.
2. The burner controls are in the ‘OFF’ position.
8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve all the way. Do
not put excessive force on the valve at the full open
position, to avoid damaging the valve.
Connecting
9. Light barbecue as per the instructions provided.
1. Ensure cylinder valve is in its full off position.
2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder
connection or the hose. NEVER attempt to use
damaged equipment.
3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the
nut to a positive stop by hand.
4. Open cylinder valve fully. If a leak can be heard at
either end of the hose turn cylinder off and tighten
joint. Wait 5 minutes before re-testing and use a soapy
water solution to check the joint. If bubbles appear the
connection will need to be re-tightened.
Refer to P12 for more detailed instructions on
connecting the appliance to the cylinder.
Disconnecting
1. Ensure the burner control is in the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Ensure cylinder valve is in the full off position.
For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose
at the cylinder only, DO NOT disconnect hose from
appliance.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time, read the
instructions fully to ensure the barbecue is assembled
correctly and is ready for use.
IMPORTANT:
Remove all point-of-sale material from the barbecue.
• Note: If for some reason, ignitor fails to produce
a spark at the electrode, barbecue can be lit by
a long barbecue match. With hood open insert
lighted match into match lighting hole positioned
on the side of the BBQ body. Push and turn a
control knob to ‘HIGH’. Burner ignition can be
checked through this hole.
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1.
Open the hood of the barbecue before attempting to
light the burners.
2.
Turn all the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.
3.
With cylinder valve in “OFF” position turn a control
knob anti-clockwise to “HIGH” (a single click is
heard). Check for sparking to the burner.
4.
If spark is not evident at the burner ignition point,
check that the ignition lead is firmly attached to the
control and sparker tip.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite BBQ.
5.
With sparking established turn the cylinder valve ‘ON’.
6.
Push down and turn the control knob anti-clockwise
to “HIGH” again. This will light the burner. Observe if
the burner has lit. If not, repeat this process.
• Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.
7.
If the burner fails to ignite after several attempts turn
off gas supply at cylinder valve and the control knob
off (clockwise). Wait five minutes before attempting
to relight with ignition sequence.
8.
Following successful ignition, light the remaining
burners in sequence, turn control knobs anticlockwise to ‘HIGH’ starting with the burner closest
to the ignition burner.
9.
Adjust the heat by turning each control knob to the
‘HIGH’/’LOW’ position.
• Check performance of burner prior to installing
BBQ plates.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other
material.

Roasting
We recommend operating your barbecue on its highest
setting for 15-20 minutes prior to first use. This aids
removing the oils used during manufacturing. Allow the
cooking surface to cool then we recommend seasoning
it before use. Season your cooking surface by coating
lightly with vegetable oil and bringing slowly up to a high
temperature (do not use olive oil as this burns off at a
low temperature). For best use your cooking surface
should be seasoned two or three times throughout each
barbecue season.
For best results when roasting, the outer two burners
should be used on the medium setting. Use of the high
setting with the hood down may result in burnt food.
Remove the flat hotplate to help with heat circulation.
Preheat the barbecue for a few minutes. Place a roasting
rack or aluminium foil dish onto the ribbed hot plate and
place the meal to be roasted onto the rack or into the
dish and close the hood.
Refer to the Care & Use Guidelines for more detailed
information.
Preheating
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least 5
minutes before cooking certain foods, depending on the
type of food and the cooking temperature. Food that
requires a low cooking temperature, needs only a period
of 2-3 minutes preheating.
IMPORTANT:
The side burner is designed for use with a wok or
cooking pot up to 200mm in diameter.
Cooking Temperatures
Use of larger pots may result in discolouration of the
finish.
‘HIGH’ setting - Use this setting only for fast warm up, for
searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue
from the grill plates after cooking is over. Rarely, if ever,
do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting for extended cooking.
The hood must be in the open position for lighting.
Do not smoke at any time when attempting to ignite
the barbecue burners.
‘MEDIUM’ setting (mid-way between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’).
Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking
hamburgers and vegetables.
Do not leave the barbecue unattended when alight.
Important: Never use all burners on high at the
same time when cooking with the hood down.
‘LOW’ setting - Use this setting when cooking very lean
cuts such as fish.
These temperatures vary with outside temperature and
the amount of wind.
When using the temperature gauge in the hood of your
barbecue please note that it measures air temperature.
The air temperature inside your barbecue will never be as
hot as the temperature of the cooking surface.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance
will keep them in top operating condition and prolong
their life. Your new gas barbecue is no exception. By
following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis,
your barbecue will be kept clean and working properly
with minimum effort.
• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should
be inspected and cleaned periodically.
Flash-Back
• This appliance must only be serviced by an
authorised person.
IMPORTANT:
If fire occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn
off gas at its source and turn the burner control to OFF,
wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the
• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended that
the drip tray be checked and emptied regularly.
Contents of the drip tray may be very hot during
cooking. If emptied during extended cooking
extreme caution should be taken and direct contact
by hand should be avoided at all times. Allow to
cool completely before disposing of the contents.
burner tubes and burner ports as described in lighting
and operating procedure.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or
make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and
transit. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction
which could result in a fire in and around the burner
tubes. Cleaning with a soft brush before use and at least
every six months is recommended.
Refer to the Care and Use Guidelines for more detailed
information.
This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can
cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an
obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASHBACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent
inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.
Cleaning the Cooking Surface
After cooking, turn burner control to OFF and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean your grill
plates. Before first use and periodically, it is suggested
that you wash the grill plates in a mild soap and warm
water solution.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not
use pans on the cooking surface. Do not overheat the
cooking surface with the hood down or no food on the
cooking surface.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue remove
and empty the drip tray after each use. Wait until the drip
tray is cool to touch before disposing of contents.
The drip tray should be washed periodically in a mild
detergent and warm water solution.
